If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Electronic - Can't Find My Way Home Just a recommendation. It is important to learn the road signs of the Universe... happy return.
PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...

The lowlands here are arid, except for areas such as this that receive the wildlife-enriching bounty of water scraped by the nearby mountains from the clouds of winter storms. These wetland areas near the Great Salt Lake are an important haven for avian residents, both year-round, and migratory in the otherwise vast dryness of the southwestern US and the Great Basin region.

This is actually a test about how many people can see this post in their stream without my adding it to groups. It would be nice to let me know....(Flickr can be a pain ;-))
Taken at the wonderful Ojuela

I have shown this photo in a colour version before.
Today I show it again as a symbol of social distancing, which has become so normal for all of us in these days
From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
They are the songs of every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fightings for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for every man
Distance between two people is inconsequential when their souls are united.
Bela ♥ thank you for being my friend ♥
Bray Head, Co.Wicklow, 5.20am, on a June morning.The old disused tunnel can be seen as a blue dot on the left and the red railway signal light in the foreground.
Killiney Hd, Dalkey Island, Howth Peninsula and Lambay Island are in the distance and the Sealink Holyhead car ferry can be seen heading for Dunlaoire Port. It makes two journeys daily to Anglesea in North Wales.

Im a bit disappointed with this photo really even though its one of my best I think. I shouldnt have done the vignetting as I think it ruined it. Its a pity as the colours are natural. Ill have to try and retake it this year. Flickr is great as You always know how good a photo is by the reaction and thats what its all about. Never fave a photo that you dont think is good enough. Its totally disloyal to the photographer and they wont learn.
If I can find the original Ill do something with this. Delete it possibly!!!!! P@t.
From A Distance by Bette Midler
A small break away from my recent work. Have a most wonderful day today!!
Fix it—
Shouldn't care
I should just weep
Shouldn't care
I should just sleep
When you're lost without a clue
And the distance turns to blue
I'Il fix it for you
Yesterday faced off this rain
Now today everything's plain
Your heart is being accused
You're darkened and you're bruised
I'Il fix it for you
Shouldn't care
I should iust weep
Shouldn't care
I should just sleep
When you're lost without a clue
And the distance turns to blue
I'Il fix it for you

Hope you like this portrait of our dog, Marnie. She takes me out with her every single morning and here she is, focusing hard on something in the distance. I had to grab my chance quickly and get down low, as she's incredibly difficult to get in the right pose. She moves her head so suddenly so I got loads of her all blurred ! She's 6 now, and has been with us for just under a year. She feels fully at home, her confidence has grown incredibly. Loving and intelligent and .. oh I must stop singing her praises. We all love our animals, but for me she's pure joy and yes, she's a real lady !
If you have time, she's best viewed large for all the details.

I've been away for some time and I'm sorry, life has been oh so busy.. Times are crazy with this virus and I hope you are all safe and practicing social distancing. I've missed you all so, thank you for the kind notes and mails.
Not too sure how long I'll be here but am trying to find time to love my camera again

It has some technical flaws, but it is a very beautiful bird, and we only spotted them on 2 or 3 occasions.

Photo réalisée sur le plateau de Valensole avec l’aide de l’application ISS detector permettant de connaître l’heure et le degré d’élévation du passage de la station spatiale, ce qui permet de pouvoir au préalable composer son image.
Ici deux photos ont été nécessaires une première avec un temps de pose de 15s pour capter un maximum d’étoiles sans que la rotation soit visible et une seconde au passage de l’ISS qui a duré environ 5mn.
Lors de ce passage l’ISS est au dessus de l’Espagne et se déplace à 7,4km/s.
Photo taken on the Valensole plateau with the help of the ISS detector application to know the time and degree of elevation of the passage of the space station, which allows you to first compose your image.
Here two photos were needed a first with an exposure time of 15s to capture a maximum of stars without the rotation being visible and a second at the passage of the ISS which lasted about 5 minutes.
During this passage, the ISS is above Spain and moves at 7.4km/s.
Bottrop, Germany, 2021.
When I set up my tripod for this shot, my idea was to take an abstract image about the concept of social distancing. I wanted each person to be in their own individual "compartment", nicely separated by the totems (which are part of an open-air art installation, by the way). Little did I know of how much waiting I was getting myself into. In the end, I got the shot, but it took almost 30 minutes of waiting – and I still had to move one person digitally in Photoshop. It was then that I decided to add a question mark to the title of the image. These people were everything but socially distanced.
Here in Germany (and probably every other country), people are quick to blame politicians for all things going wrong in the fight against the pandemic. However, many of them fail to see that it is just as much their own fault to quite a degree. Far too many people simply don't care about keeping their distance, willing to take the chance of other people dying because of their actions.
The fight against the pandemic is not won by the decisions made in a politician's office. It is won by how well these decisions are executed by the people in their everyday lives.
